The Five Pillars of Panchkarma

Core Panchkarma Therapies

Each of the five therapies targets a specific dosha and channel system, working synergistically for complete detoxification.

Vamana

Therapeutic emesis (controlled vomiting) that eliminates excess Kapha dosha from the upper GI tract, lungs, and sinuses. Ideal for conditions like asthma, chronic bronchitis, skin disorders, and obesity.

Virechana

Medicated purgation that expels Pitta dosha and accumulated toxins from the liver, gallbladder, and small intestine. Effective for skin diseases, jaundice, inflammatory conditions, and digestive disorders.

Basti

Medicated enema therapy - the most powerful Panchkarma treatment - that directly addresses Vata dosha through the colon. Available as Anuvasan Basti (oil-based) and Asthapan Basti (decoction-based) for joint disorders, neurological conditions, and chronic constipation.

Nasya

Instillation of medicated oils or powders through the nasal passages to cleanse the head, neck, and sinuses. Effective for migraines, sinusitis, cervical spondylosis, hair loss, and disorders of the eyes, ears, nose, and throat.

Shirodhara

Continuous, gentle pouring of warm medicated oil or decoction over the forehead (third-eye region). Profoundly calming for the nervous system - used for insomnia, anxiety, depression, hypertension, and neurological disorders.
